Yes, I know what you mean.
If one would consist in that way, in every new subtitle display where the speaker of the first line is another than the last one in the previous subtitle display, how many cases would you have to start with a dash to tell the viewer this? It feels unnatural to me to do so.

Example:

Display 1:

Son, as I don't have much time today,
will you do me a favor and wash the car?

Display 2 would have to be like this:

- I will in the afternoon dad, because
I promised mom to fix her computer first.


Or similar things. Doesn't feel right. But everybody should of course do as they see or feel fit.
